Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon has struck a deal to speak with special counsel Robert Mueller and his team investigating Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.

Mr Bannon, who was recently disavowed by President Donald Trump, will discuss his time with the Trump campaign and White House directly with the investigators, and will bypass questioning in front of a grand jury.

Mr Mueller's team had secured a subpoena to compel Mr Bannon to testify, which could have forced him to speak with the grand jury.

FBI agents reportedly showed up at Mr Bannon's home in Washington, DC last week with the subpoena, only to find out that the former White House employee had secured the legal representation of William Burck hours earlier, according to reports.

Those agents then sent the subpoena they had intended on delivering to Mr Bannon to Mr Burck, who is also representing two other witnesses in Mr Mueller's probe.

News of Mr Bannon's coming cooperation with the Mueller probe comes just after the bombshell, tell-all book about Mr Trump's first year in office, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. That book portrayed a chaotic go of it, and painted a picture of Mr Trump erratic, impulsive, and disinterested chief executive. In one segment of the book, Mr Bannon is quoted calling Donald Trump Jr -- who took a meeting with a Russian lawyer in Trump Tower during the campaign after being promised dirt on Hillary Clinton -- "treasonous" for the contact.

Another of Trump's inner circle now cooperating with the FBI.
This is another big blow for Trump.
